DEATH OF Mr.. ANDERSON. News

DEATH OF Mr.. ANDERsON.-News
came over the wires last Wednesday,
announcing the quite sudden death, at
Montclair, N. j., of Mr.. William f.
Anderson, of this city. The telegram
stated that Mr.. Anderson died last
Monday and was buried on Wednes-
day. 1t will be remembered that de-
ceased left here only few weeks ago,
for his former home in quest of I'M
prOvement in his health, but it seems
that soon after his arrival there, a re-
lapse took place which bafiled medical
skill and the care of family friends.
Mr.. Anderson WAS tifty-one years of
age at the time of his death. He came
to Olympia about twelve years ago and
has resided in our midst almost con-
stantly since that time. AS citizen,
he was noted for his business efficiency
and industry, and ranked high in the
estimation of the community. Having
been appointed by President Cleveland
United States Special Timber Agent,
with headquarters at Vancouver, he
served in that capacity with credit
and honor to himself, until failing
health compelled him to resign his
position. He died of congestive chills
and kidney trouble. His disconsolate
widow has the sympathies Of our entire
community.

THE Supreme Court, intheir new
rules, which went into effect on the
LIST instant, prescribe the usual dimen-
sions of pages in the printed briefs to
be submitted for their consideration
viz: "S4 inches from top to- bot
tom and 81 inches from edge to
edge, inclusive of the margin, which
must be II inches at the top, bottom
and outer edge" Rule 8 requires
that the print used shall be Small Plea
type. The original draft provided
that each of these pages should con-
tain seven folios, and that expense OF
printing should not exceed one dollar
per page; but when it was shown that
not even an edict of the Supreme
Court could crowd that number OF
words in less than q pages, the Court
ruled that the compensation should be
81 for seven folios. This will not pay
the cost of type-setting, to say moth
ing of paper, press-work and binding,
SO it is safe to say no briefs will be
printed under the new rules The SUI
preme Court may be all-powerful in
killing laws, hut it cannot make water
run up hill nor printers work without
compensation.

BARRETT's ELEPHANT PARADOX
One of the most amazing and attrac-
tive features of S. II. Barrett's tented
aggregation, which exhibits in Olympia,
Wednesday, Sept. It'll, are the seem
ingly reason-endowed performances OF
the titantic herd of elephants, which
execute military drills, perform must
cal acts, whirl in May waltzes, and
form towering pyramids, at the COM
mand of the consummate trainer.
The two central figures of this re-
markable group of pachyderms are
Bismarck" and Juno" who, now
that Jumbo is no more, are univer-
sally conceded to be the largest and
grandest elephants in captivity. The
two rollicking, precocious elephantine
clowns, Doc" and Ben Butler" will
be seen in some infinitely amusing
acts, among them being limitations of
ancient Roman statuary, and four
round glove contest, a la Sullivan and
Ryan-all bets to be declartd off in the
event of magisterial interference. Bar
rett is to be congratulated lpon the
perfection he has attained in elephant
culture.

The Trade DOllar.-The Senate
bill for the redemption and recoinage of
the trade dollar, which was passed in the
House of Representatives on Saturday
by vote of ia to 36, provides that for
a period of six months after its passage
trade dollars, if not defaced, mutilated
or stamped, shall be received at their
face value for all dues to the United
States. The coin shall then be retired
from circulation. During the same Pc
rod such unmutilated coins will also be
received at the treasury of the United
States in exchange for like amount Of
standard silver dollars or subsidiary
coinage. All the trade dollars so redeem-
ed must be recoined into standard silver
dollars or subsidiary coinage, but such
recoinage shall not be considered as part
of tue silver bullion required to be pur-
chased monthly and coined into stan
dard dollars. Some figuring has been
done to approximate the amount in ex-
istence, and an estimate is given that
not more than IS 600, 900 will come for
wal for redemption. In the debate in
the House an opponent of the bill argu-
ed tina: the banks and money syndicates
have accumulated the trade dollars at a
discount, and are now asking the gov
eminent to redeem them at 100 cents.

Cured by a Bullion Tuesd

Cured by a Bullion Tuesday
last, Joe Barnes, Golored boy about,
fourteen years of age, living at Col. w.
A. Morgan's, was terribly gored by an
Attorney bull belonging to the Colonel.
1t is not known what caused the animal
TO attack the boy. A colored man hear
ing Il row in the barnyard went to see
what it was. He saw the boy lying on
the ground, covered with blood and
mud, while the angry beast was goring
him and injuring him as much as it pos
sibly could. With a pitchfork the bull
was driven off and the boy rescued in
an unconscious state. DR.. A. 5. Rey-
nolds was summoned, and found tina,
the youth was terribly injured. One of
his arms was torn, his head was bruised,
there was big cash in his abdomen,
and one side of his face was ripped as
though the animal had gotten horn in
his mouth and tore it out. Altogether
the boy was badly hurt, though he is eX-
pected TO recover. The bull has been
made very savage by boys teasing him,
and il is thought Joe may have been
having some of this sort of fulswhen he
was caught.
